The Attempt at a Solution



well i have done this, and was looking over it and not sure why they multiply flux by:dI/dt

can some one clear this up for me
EDIT: is it b/c after doing that we get dI/dt = 100S/s. i think it is, just want to make sure b/c when i did it i use of 100A/s as--> (100A/s)t...t--> time and did it and got correct answer

yeah you reasoning is correct. if you use I=100t when you derive you will get 100, which is same as 100A/s.
